Sorian AI thread has some discussion

@Quitch talks about some stuff in Queller, and maintains the AI reference on PA Wiki

@Quitch how and where can I set the the Commander only builds a factory and the factory continually builds an official amount unit. How it should look like. For example, if it were a Dox.

The fabber folder is where all the fabber building is controlled and the factory folder controls factory building.

Each fabber entry will have a block which looks something like:

Code:

      "builders": [
        "AnyBasicFabber",
        "AnyAdvancedFabber"
      ],

So if you only want the Commander to build factories you would remove the reference to the Commander from everything except the factories you want it to build. However, you also need to given consideration to the following:

Code:

      "instance_count": 1,
      "shared_instance_count": "BasicFactory",

This would mean that only one instance of this build job can occur on a planet at one time. This instances is checked against all other instances using the same shared instance count. So if a fabber kicks off a factory using the BasicFactory instance count, the Commander won't build it if the instance_count number has been hit.

For factories, find all the builders references to BasicBotFactory and remove every full block that isn't building Dox. For example:

Code:

    {
      "name": "Uber - Grenadier",
      "to_build": "BasicArtilleryBot",
      "instance_count": -1,
      "max_num_assisters": 10,
      "priority": 97,
      "builders": [
        "BasicBotFactory"
      ],
      "build_conditions": [
        [
          {
            "test_type": "HasPersonalityTag",
            "string0": "uber",
            "boolean": true
          },
          {
            "test_type": "HasPersonalityTag",
            "string0": "infernodier",
            "boolean": false
          },
          {
            "test_type": "HasPersonalityTag",
            "string0": "oldschool",
            "boolean": false
          },
          {
            "test_type": "CanDeployLandFromBase",
            "boolean": true
          },
          {
            "test_type": "CanAffordBuildDemand"
          }
        ]
      ]
    },

You would either delete all that, or set the priority to 0 so the block is ignored.

@Quitch Is there a way that the AI 100 units produced.

In what context do you want '100 units'? You want the ai to make 100 dox before attacking? Or be limited to a total of 100 dox and then stop building them until some are destroyed?

Yes, look into the tests UnitCount and UnitCountOnPlanet.

I'm working on a tower defense mod. and the AI will build the waves. 1 Shaft 50 Dox. 2 shaft 50 Dox 50 grenadiers ...

I'm not sure the defualt AI system is the way to achieve that? I thought there was a way to spawn in units anyway?
